Can a Software Tester become a Data Analyst?

Question

Could someone tell me whether a Software Tester could become a Data Analyst?

Answer 1

Yes, he/she who is willing to transition to Data Analytics from a Software Testing role could make that transition possible. The required skill set for Data Analyst is sound knowledge in Math, Statistics, computer knowledge, good programming language knowledge in Python or R, and Data Visualization tool knowledge like Tableau, Power BI, and such skills depend and vary from company to company. As some organizations prefer software and some others. So, it's equally important to decide on which type of company you are focusing or the necessary skillsets that you need to acquire to begin working as a Data Analyst. The best way is to get yourself certified, and that you could do just by enrolling in a Data Analytics course, from Intellipaat. And watch our YouTube video on Data Analytics for Beginners.
